[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid starts its junior year and it seems time to start thinking about college. Maybe do some visit.
I come from Europe, so open to UK and European schools, but I know little about US schools.

A- minus kid taking advanced math, and physics and wants to study science.
Maybe biology, genetics or even engineering.
She is an avid reader, intense climber,...

Which schools should we consider for bio/genetic?

A- student in "advanced math" yet it sounds as though it is regular physics? Unless advanced math means Calculus in 11th or 12th grade and there are lots of IB or AP classes, the student seems a little above average at most high schools, not likely to be top 25% considering most publics set the average to around an A- , so VT is going to be mildly reachy and William and Mary and UVA will be out of reach.  In virginia, a slightly above average student from a typical public high school should target JMU ,VCU, or GMU which are great for many subjects including science, but also good if the major changes. In state is the best bang for buck, no need to spend on OOS publics or on privates, it is a waste of money almost always. All three give an excellent education and can lead to great careers in science.[/quote]
